FEMA COVID-19 VACCINE CLINICS NOW OPEN - The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) vaccination clinics are up and running in Pima County. FEMA has two mobile vaccination units (MVUs), administrative staff, and federal vaccinators to Pima County to support its distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine to the hardest-hit, hardest-to-reach communities with high risks of COVID-19 exposure and infection. The operations, which include more than 70 personnel from FEMA, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Labor, will run through June 26 at various locations. Staff also will be on-site from the Pima County Health Department and Premier Medical Group. MVUs will operate at two locations for three days before moving to the next site. Locations were selected based on census tract data and the Social Vulnerability Index of the area. The first two sites are open now until May 5 at Pima Community College Desert Vista Campus, 5901 S. Calle Santa Cruz, and Pima Community College West Campus, 2202 W. Anklam Road. Hours are from 10 a.m.-8 p.m., and no appointment is necessary. Both the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be available for walk-up registrants 18 and older on a first-come, first-served basis.
